PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris 2026
PX3 is one of the longer-running pan-European fine-art photography competitions, organising entries into professional and non-professional tracks across dozens of categories. The 2026 rules ban AI-generated images outright. Anonymous judging — photographer identities hidden from the jury — is the distinguishing structural feature. Single-image entry costs €30 and a series (2–8 images) or book costs €50, with a 20% discount per additional category. PX3 Photographer of the Year carries a €5,000 cash prize; the New Talent track adds a separate €2,000.
